    Did Wetherspoons open on the 5th September 2011? From the previous comments on this site it was after 2010 - as that's when people were discussing what was happening to the Red Lion and were Wetherspoons taking over. There is a web site giving all the Wetherspoons pubs and the dates they opened :- https://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ccaajpa/pubs-spoons.html?fbclid=IwAR2WbwmPN-7TFbLoDRZmBKmEzoGbLSMwHBl_cJTHJfq5kznwhimzYf_-th0 It lists the local pubs as :- Northumberland: (6) Ashington: Rohan Kanhai, 1-4 Woodhorn Road, Ashington, Northumberland. (27th October 2000) Bedlington: Red Lion, Front Street West, Bedlington, Northumberland. (5th September 2011) Blyth: Wallaw, 14 Union Street, Blyth, Northumberland. (28th April 2014) Cramlington: John the Clark of Cramlington, Low Main Place, Cramlington, Northumberland. (19th September 2013) Hexham: Forum, 8-9 Market Place, Hexham, Northumberland. (27th October 2000) Morpeth: Electrical Wizard, 11 New Market, Morpeth, Northumberland. (5th September 2011) The above list of pubs was posted in response to a question about the local Wetherspoon pubs on the Ashington remembered Facebook group and one member (lives in Alnwick) posted :- Simon A Drew The Bedlington date is wrong!

    @Bandsman1966 - it was Deborah Golding (Facebook group Bygone Bedlington) that gave me the names and she commented :- Jimmy was my dad, Barry is my uncle- he says he remembers this like it was yesterday. It was the year that they won the Picnic. I sent her a copy of your photo, via Facebook Messenger and she is going to see if her mam , and uncle, can name some more.

    @Bandsman1966 - updated the two photos. Would you add them as new entries into your Netherton Colliery Band album.
